Adirondack case guy said: (quoted from post at 04:28:13 06/01/10) I have noticed for the last two weeks that the trees were not greening up on the ridges. At first I thought that the hardwoods were just coming on late on the high ridges. After having some time to look closer in the woods, I discovered that most of the Maples are sheading leaves which have dried up before becoming full sized even. Watched a neighboring farmer working ground across the little valley from my house today and there was a dust cloud blowing down the valley all day. Our Maples were hit hard by tent catipillers about 2 years ago. I wonder if that event is affecting what is happening to them now. Notice in the pics. of the dust that the whole ridge is brownish rather than green like it should be, The trees in the fore ground are green the way they should be.
hey acg, I live outside of norwich, I was going through my woods the other day and it looked like fall, all the leaves were covering my trails,, I think it was from the nice weather we had early and then the cold and snow we had on mothers day and around there,, yesterday I noticed that the leaves are recovering, so hopefuly it will be in time,, great pics by the way, I have property up by hartwick,, those pics look like an area I drive through to get there , on gregory rd,,good luck pat
I do see those tent catipillers are coming back to though,

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
